At Wee Kids ELC we utilize a developmental curriculum that is custom designed by the head teacher in each classroom. This allows the child to grow according to their natural developmental process not regulated by birth date or pressure for academic performance. Our teachers can present activities to the children, at the most opportune time for maximum growth, and in a way that is appropriate to the developmental age of the child.
